"Xara is pleased to announce that it intends to make its flagship graphics product, Xara X, open oource. Xara is also working to bring it to the Linux and Mac platforms. Xara X is the world's fastest and we believe the most versatile graphics software. It's primarily a vector graphics program but is one of the new generation of cross-over products that handles photos and drawings with equal ease."

Yes, they just probably think the most of their money will come from ms users. Linux and Mac users are few.
StarOffice is much bigger than Xara and I think Xara's Linux users willing to pay for support on a program like this can be counted on a hand with missing fingers.
Obviously if their holy mission to change the graphic industry world bringing the penguin in will succeed this will change!
Yes, all they've wrote contains a lot of PR talk, but I hope they believe at least in a 70% of their statement.
By the way, their announced plan is to only ask money to win users for now.
